-Guile provides two types of hashtables.  One is an abstract data type
-that can only be manipulated with the functions in this section.  The
-other type is concrete: it uses a normal vector with alists as
-elements.  The advantage of the abstract hash tables is that they will
-be automatically resized when they become too full or too empty.
